Surveillance Society!

I saw a headline recently that claimed Americans are getting fearful of "chipping"—you know, "tracking devices" in I.D. Cards, licenses, and people.

Why all da HUB-BUB?

People have been tracked, monitored, & followed by their governments & ruling powers for thousands of years—by the military, the police, churches, taxation entities, spies, and door-to-door salesmen!

Today, we are basically being FILMED everywhere we go—cameras in traffic lights, recorded in retail stores (to prevent theft), and by bullet-heads on cell phones who are dying to use their "built-in camera" feature.

Today, everybody WANTS to be filmed, anyway—on REALITY TV, YOU TUBE/INTERNET, and, if one is ingenious enough, on a Home Shopping Network/Their Own Infomercial Plugging Their Latest Product/Invention (I myself am working on a patent for a combination cheese grater/toilet plunger).

Personally, I think we need MORE SURVEILLANCE!

You read that correctly, and, what da hell? I think EVERYONE should have to WEAR A CAMERA and be WATCHED 24/7. This will create more SURVEILLANCE JOBS, which will increase sales of MONITORING/SECURITY EQUIPMENT, and pull our buttocks out of Dis Dang Recession!

I think YOU, meaning, of course, the Other 5, 999, 999, 999 People On This Planet, ought to know:
1) What I Am Doing
2) What I Am Thinking
3) Where I Am Going——ALL THE TIME!

Plus, when I get "down-time", in between writing Blockbusters such as Miscellaneous Hullabaloo, Inane Balderdash, & "...and now, more fun with...", I should be able to Monitor The Rest Of YOU, just to see/find out:
1) Who's Buying My Books
2) What the Anti-Christ is having for Dinner Tonight
3) Where those damn telemarketers who keep calling me during dinnertime are located.

Who needs PRIVACY ANYMORE?

Who knows? Maybe we'll all be Psychic sometime in the near future, and not need any of this surveillance—all of our brains will be scrambled trying to "read each other's thoughts", and, if we're lucky, we'll all eventually:
a) go insane
b) become extinct, or
c) evolve into a Better Type of Human Being, capable of Minding Our Own Business.

See ya—I'm going to get my "Computer Chip Implant"!
